p. 66 — against the abolition of private p[ro]perty: "human nature" would have rebelled and would have answered with a "terrible rev[olution]."
110 et seq. The vulgarest criticism of the d[em]ocratic p[ar]ty in '48 — against the struggle for a republic, insane war with Russia etc.

147: grateful to Mehring for defense against E[ngels]!!
151. Born reasons like a liberal about the abolition of pr[ivate] pr[operty].

165–166: Pr[ogram] of the W[orkers'] U[nion] of 1848. Cooperative s[ocieties] etc. in the first place. Born's defense of this pr[ogram] ruins it.
